Deadly Skyrim: I turned Skyrim into a Dark Fantasy Survival Horror Game.

[midgetalien]

Hello everyone!

So I recently completed a play test of a heavily modded Skyrim which turns Skyrim into a survival game and removes most settlements from the game and beefs up the difficulty.

The video can be found here: Skyrim Dark Fantasy/Horror

Things to note: I am forever tweaking this. In the video it shows me using Hunterborn but I am not happy with that mod as its bit clunky. I only used it for the wearable lantern add-on that allowed for the lantern oil to be crafted but I have made my own separate mod that does that. I am also currently doing testing on the mod list with the Combat mod Vigor. To see how combat could be changed.

You can learn more about my play though and the updated mod list as it evolves on my blog Deadly Skyrim

 

If anyone has some suggestions to further enhance the gameplay let me know! Its a constant evolving modlist so ideas are welcome.

I've updated the blog with more detailed instructions for installation of certain mods as well as a more up to date mod list of what I am using.

 

I also have another video that is currently uploading which will go into the idea behind this and the activation of some of the MCM setup. Please forgive my terrible commentary. I will link to it once its uploaded.
